We believe every student should have the opportunity to travel. That’s why we invest more than $2.5 million annually in student travel scholarships, empowering teachers and schools to help more students experience the lifelong impact of educational travel. To further support families, we also provide fundraising tools and resources.
$2.5+ million in annual student travel scholarships
Travel-based learning is essential to education, and we believe that more students should have the opportunity to experience it. We proudly invest more than $2.5 million in student travel scholarships each year—and one important way we bring this commitment to life is through our merit-based Global Citizen Scholarship.
Apply for EF’s Global Citizen Scholarship
Every year, student travelers benefit from our merit-based Global Citizen Scholarship. Any student is encouraged to apply—they’ll fill out a quick online application and create a short video about how traveling will change the way they think or feel about the world, or act within it.
